Making peace with your body – these words carry the weight of self-acceptance and liberation.
Imagine this scenario: You’re in a fitting room preparing for the fall season and realize you’ve gained some weight and the clothes don’t fit how you want them to.
You have 12 pieces in the fitting room. You try them on and ask for a bigger size. You have the bigger sizes, but as you try them on, only 3 work for you. You feel frustrated because what used to fit doesn’t work anymore and upset about how this happened.
There are phases in our lives where we experience overwhelming changes and stop caring for ourselves as we’ve done in the past. But you don’t realize it until you are in a fitting room shopping for an outfit you need this weekend.
There are times in our lives when things get hectic, and we’ve kept the same wardrobe that used to work, but now we realize our bodies have changed. That’s when you might leave the store frustrated, thinking you’ll start a diet, but then you pass by a counter with a nice cinnamon bun and decide to eat it. That’s okay, but here’s the essential step: you can hit the reset button. This reset is not a setback but a powerful step towards embracing the changes in your body and feeling empowered.
You don’t need to know how right now, but the energy of acceptance is the first step.
It’s not about past mistakes and talking about what didn’t work. It’s about figuring out what you want, and number one, that is feeling good. Next, it’s about taking care of yourself and buying new pieces that make you feel amazing where you are. Remember, things can always be taken in. Once you have the right mindset, then you will attract solutions that are perfect for you. No one solution works for everyone. But what’s important is that you value yourself and your body and take the necessary steps to feel good about yourself.
The most important start is with your mindset and appreciating and valuing your body. You can shop for yourself and buy some nice pieces that honor who you are. Instead of waiting for the weight to come off, buy some pieces now because it will make you feel more confident. Little things like fresh makeup can boost your confidence. Then, you can start finding the right solutions that work for you. Changing your mindset is key. Make peace with where you are and understand that it’s okay. Let go of the clothes that no longer serve you, and get ready to build a new version of yourself. This journey is emotional; as a stylist, it’s important to understand and honor that.
